This paper presents a study that was conducted at Monash University College - Gippsland on the effect of a robot’s geometrical parameters on its dynamic performance. This research was undertaken in pursuit of an optimal dynamic performance of industrial robots. In this study an indicator was established to quantitatively measure the dynamic performance of a robot arm with respect to changes in the geometrical parameters. Since the dynamic behaviour of a robot’s arm is largely dependent on its inertia terms; the performance indicator was based on the Logarithmic function of the sensitivity of the inertia matrix’s eigenvalues to changes in …

A numerical model is presented to simulate the effect of wind action on rectangular sedimentation tanks used in water and wastewater treatment plants. The mathematical model uses the k-r. model for fl uid flow and sediment transport, and is solved using an explicit finite diffence scheme incorporating a penalty function approach. Simulations of fluid flow velocity and aeqiment concentration are presented for two wind speeds in two directions. It is shown that the effect of wind action is significant and future design of sedimentation tanks should include this parameter.
